The bars of the iron cage are three to four centimeters thick, and they can't be twisted with human strength. But the opponent is a monster whose specific appearance is unknown. Even in a dark environment, Victor can feel that the metal product is overwhelmed.
Bending sound.
In desperation, Downey fired his pistol at the dark front, but those bullets were like a mud cow entering the sea. What he got in exchange was a more violent impact from the creatures outside, and there were a lot of them!
The two of them clung to each other tightly, with strong wind blowing on their faces in front of them. Things outside hit them while extending their claws in, grabbing everything in front of them through the darkness.
Although Victor couldn't see it, he knew that he had to stick to the wall behind him. If he moved even half a step forward, he would probably suffer an unpredictable and tragic end.
Bang! Bang!
The cage gradually sunk inwards, and they were getting closer and closer to the creatures outside.
"The fortune-telling we just performed was clearly from Da'an, so why did we encounter such a dangerous situation?"
Victor felt helpless waiting to die.
Between the lightning and flint, there was an echo coming from a distant place, like the howl of some kind of creature.
The violent impact suddenly stopped. Immediately afterwards, the strong wind that the claws grabbed out of thin air disappeared. The snorts outside the cage slowly retreated, and soon there was deathly silence, returning to the original silence.
The impact just now was too dangerous. If things from outside continue to impact, sooner or later the cage will be destroyed.
However, I don’t know what happened, they stopped moving.
"Are you consuming our patience and waiting for us to fall into the trap?"
Victor was still frightened. After a moment, he slowly released the hand covering Henry's mouth, the back of his hand was covered with sweat.
Donnie kept tugging on Victor's pants and didn't dare to make a sound, but he could feel the tension in his heart.
After a long time, there was no movement outside the cage. The monsters seemed to have left?
Donnie didn't dare to speak. He carefully lit the oil lamp again. With the light of the lamp, they saw that there was nothing outside the cage. It was as if the monsters had never been here.
"Vic...Master Victor...those things are gone...gone."
Danny hesitated and said, his voice trembling and full of lingering fear.
Victor stared at the iron fence in front of him that was almost sunken into his face, and his legs felt a little weak.
Fortunately, the monster doesn't know how to open the door and can only hit it blindly, otherwise the three of them will definitely become minced meat on the ground.
"Those...what are those things?"
Victor ignored Donnie's question, carried the unconscious Henry on his back, opened the door and got out, and quickly ran away.
The footprints of some kind of four-legged creature can be clearly seen on the ground. The hind feet are larger, like some kind of canine, while the footprints of the forelimbs are smaller, and the five fingers are spread out, very clear, like a flexible primate.
animals.
"The footprints are going that way, let's go through another tunnel, fast!"
Victor quickly confirmed the direction in which the monsters were retreating, and quickly asked Donnie to lead the way to the other side of the fork.
They didn't know when the group of monsters would turn back, so they ran faster. If they stayed in the iron cage, they could only wait for death, and the solid iron bars could not stop the opponent's exaggerated power.
However, the escape route they chose went deep downwards and did not look like a path leading to other exits. Victor and Donnie immediately regretted it.
But there is no use regretting. They can only bite the bullet and continue to go to the end, because neither of them dares to look back.
Not long after, they came to a tunnel with a high drop, winding down along the wooden slats of the huge cliff. When stepping on it, they could hear a frightening creaking sound, which scared Donnie so much that he didn't dare to continue walking. Many naturally formed stalactites hang down from the cave, and the rock walls are covered with some kind of blood-red rhizomes that resemble climbing plants. If you look closely, these rhizomes are still crawling like blood vessels...
"How did the Cornwall Company dig so deep? Such steps are not conducive to transporting ore and stone, right?"
Victor looked away from the disgusting root and had many associations with the absurd scene at the moment.
Suddenly, Donnie stepped on something and screamed.
Victor followed his light and looked over, and found that a huge soft rhizome was wrapped around the log step, and he stepped on it.
He let Donny shine his lantern along the roots, and saw a thick black shadow stretching out from under the abyss, pointing toward the stalactite-covered ceiling.
At first, Victor thought it was a climbing plant growing along the stalactites, but when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but take a breath.
It was an extremely bloody pillar of flesh formed by countless dead people hugging each other! Their shapes and limbs were distorted, their flesh was sticky and their movements were exaggerated and enchanting, and they looked like coquettish totems on this dark pit.
.
The bottom here is at least twenty or thirty meters high, and there are at least hundreds of dead people who have been made into pillars of meat! Moreover, the backs of these dead people have been cut open, and their ribs are spread out to both sides, like outstretched wings, and all the internal organs in their bodies are
No, and those spreading bloody roots grew out of their bodies...
Although many of the corpses had become mummies, Downey still couldn't bear it and started retching while holding on to the wall.
Victor was carrying Henry on his back and felt his legs were even weaker, but he still suppressed the fear, stabilized his mentality, and kicked Donnie in the butt to cheer him up quickly.
"Master Victor, let's go back!"
Donnie didn't dare to move forward, but Victor reminded him: "There is no turning back! Listen!"
When Donnie said this, he suddenly heard a rapid attack coming from the tunnel behind him.
"No... don't do this, Mr. Victor! Victor..."
He lost his mind a little, and Victor kicked him again, telling him to go down quickly.
Donnie covered his butt, summoned up all his remaining courage, and quickly ran down with the light in hand.
The abyss was actually not deep. The two of them quickly reached the bottom and saw a shallow ravine under the pillar of flesh. It was full of rotting internal organs. Many of them had been eaten, and more had already been eaten.
Dried.

Donnie suppressed his curiosity and did not look at the pile of things, but Victor observed that the people on the meat pillar were actually tied and fixed together by strong iron ropes.
This is a man-made art of massacre!
Most of the victims had darker skin and were obviously not immigrants from the Western Continent.
"So this is the fate of those Valentines..."
Victor finally understood the whole story, and at the same time he understood the meaning of Da'an calculated by the hexagrams.
"That's it...that's it...what a great guy, the calculation result is correct, I am indeed very lucky!"
What he was saying to himself was overheard by Donnie, who immediately felt that Victor who was following behind him must be crazy.
In this situation of danger and terror, how can you say you are lucky?
But now was not the time to argue, Victor discovered a cave at the bottom that could be squatted down and drilled into. He asked Donnie to go forward with a lantern, and then followed him into it.
The attack behind them was getting closer and closer, and they didn't dare to stop at all.
After leaving the terrifying human pillar cliff, Downey's breathing gradually slowed down. They discovered that there was a man-made tunnel at the end of the short cave, which was quite secretive.
Entering the tunnel, familiar minecart tracks appeared on the ground, and lighted oil lamps were hung on the rock walls on both sides, proving that this tunnel was not abandoned.
"Why are the lights on? This tunnel is still in use? Does it lead to another exit?" Victor felt like he was surviving a disaster.
Donnie found a pile of men's clothes scattered on the ground. It looked like someone had taken them off and deliberately thrown them there. Victor always felt that this pile of clothes looked familiar.
They continued to walk forward and suddenly saw a naked man lying on a dirty straw mat and soundly asleep.
Are you a worker?
Victor was a little curious, so he walked cautiously from the side without alerting the other party.
But when he saw the man's face, he was stunned.
This guy had short hair, wore glasses when sleeping, and had some stains on his face, but he was still recognized.
Chino!
The crook who was shot and thrown into the sea on the gambling boat!
